⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Takumi BBQ is fantastic! The menu offers a wide variety of meats, seafood, and sides, all fresh and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and variety you get. It’s a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family.

The only minor downside is that service can be a bit slow during busy hours, but the staff are friendly and attentive. Overall, excellent food, great selection, and good value — highly recommend!

HALAL MENU!!!! Such delicious cut of meats and different protein options (duck included), price is very fair with a dish of meat and a vegetable option or lettuce/perilla leaves/Chinese pancakes it will come between 20-30$
I personally loved the perilla leaves, and we had the Chinese pancakes…SO GOOD and thin, simply like a dumpling made in your hand!
Side dishes with refills available (kimchi, sauces, cumin seasoning, jalapeño, garlic)

Everything was delicious the service was great, there was no smoke at all! The vents were working amazing too.
Definitely my go to spot for good food and hangouts!

Definitely a hidden gem in Ottawa. The restaurant has really good, friendly service and really minimum wait time. We were here for my sister’s birthday, ordered mostly beef but they were all marinated well, super tasty! The portion here is also pretty big, we had 5 people and didn’t expect the food to be this much due to our past experience from other BBQ places in Ottawa. The restaurant’s environment was also really nice and not loud, suitable for gatherings.

North East China style self BBQ. We tried seasoned beef, lamb, pork, squid and mushrooms, all good. All meat were thinly sliced and well seasoned. Big space between tables. The bbq machine had strong power and food was cooked fast with just low fire. Service was good. But there were only two waitresses. At peak slot, they were too busy to respond timely.

A wonderful surprise.

The food was absolutely delicious with big portion. The sauces and dry seasoning went perfectly with the meat. The grilled meat was also seasoned very well. The duck had a delicious amount of smoke to it.

The service was impeccable. Our grill was malfunctioning and the server helped us numerous times without complaint.

Other bbq place would charge at least twice as much. I will definitely go back.
